Cold drinks are a popular fashion drink, such as shaved ice, ice cream or other iced drinks in daily life. Cold drinks have a good thirst-quenching and heat-relieving effect in the hot summer. Refrigeration devices are for effectively using a lower temperature to refrigerate and freeze the food. In the prior art, the refrigeration devices usually carry heat away gradually from containers only by the evaporation of the refrigerant medium. Its advantage is to have a simple structure, and the disadvantage is that the temperature in the container gradually increases from the wall surface toward the center.
